"Fabric Geometry" Eco Art by mayah(c)2019 11.5" X 9" x 2"


This piece started out with leftover iced tea. The tea, long since diluted sitting in the 'frig, was poured into a metal broiler pan, and then pieces of white art paper and a scrap of old white sheet were placed in the pan, left to sit for a couple of hours, then taken out and dried. I like the way the color changed from bright white to beige.

The paper and sheet were cut into rectangular shapes, and the paper sewn onto the sheet with machine stitching. Left over scraps of cardboard, sand paper, and burlap paper were glued on. Next, the sheet was adhered to a piece of thick art paper with fabric glue to reinforce it.

An empty cardboard box was coated with layers of acrylic and made into a "frame", and the art work glued onto it. A hanger is adhered to the back of the box.

Eco Art by mayah utilizes reused/recycled and earth-friendlier materials whenever possible.
